Brewing Supplies Launceston

Brewing Supplies Launceston is a specialist shopping destination for home-brewing equipment and ingredients, located at Jimmy’s Complex on Frederick Street in Launceston. The shop caters to people making beer, spirits, wine, cider and mead, with a broad selection intended to cover both the practical hardware and the ingredients involved in brewing at home. Customers can visit in person or phone ahead to ask about current stock or request a specific product.

The range listed by the shop includes kegging hardware, CO2 refills, beer and cider essences, grains, hops, yeasts, sugars and other brewing essentials. Hardware is available alongside consumable ingredients, making the store useful for someone setting up a brewing project as well as for an experienced brewer replacing equipment or replenishing supplies. The shop notes that products not currently in store may be able to be ordered in, subject to availability.

The setting is described as bright and fresh, with easy parking and a large selection of brands. Its emphasis is not just on stocking products: Brewing Supplies Launceston also highlights helpful, honest advice and friendly service. That makes it a practical stop for solo shoppers who want guidance before buying, or for home brewers with a specific question about ingredients, equipment or stock. The website’s customer comments repeatedly point to the range, approachable service and willingness to explain things, although those comments are customer opinions rather than a guarantee of every experience.

The business is owned and run by Stephen (Steve) Wilkins, who is also the founder and head mead maker at Wanderer Mead, an artisan micro-meadery based in Launceston. His connection to mead making sits alongside the shop’s wider focus on beer, wine and spirits brewing. Brewing Supplies Launceston also offers a rewards points system for purchases, giving regular customers another reason to return. It is open from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm, and Saturday from 9am to 1pm, with Sunday closed. For stock enquiries or phone orders, call 03 6351 2011.
